Understanding the work
About chimney repairs & repointing
A chimney leak is not always caused by the brickwork alone. The stack, pointing, crown and surrounding flashing may all need looking at to find the entry point.
Riley can discuss visible chimney defects and the extent of repointing or related roof work before a repair is agreed.

Questions about chimney repairs & repointing
Is a chimney leak always a pointing issue?
No. Flashings and other junction details can also let water in. The likely route needs checking before selecting a repair.
Can repointing be done without other roof work?
That depends on the condition of the stack and surrounding roof details. The proposed work should identify each affected element.
